The Council has been notified of the resignation of Mr Flemming Overgaard, a Danish member of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), according to a cover note from the EESC President dated 1 July 2026. The resignation letter is attached for the Council's records, creating a vacancy that will require a replacement from Denmark.
The EESC President formally informed the Council Secretary-General of the resignation, which takes effect immediately. The Council is expected to acknowledge the resignation and proceed with the appointment of a new Danish member in due course. The change may affect the balance of interests represented in the EESC, as members are drawn from employers' organisations, trade unions, and other civil society groups.
